AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 15:17 ¶ When the sun had gone down and a [deep] darkness had come, there appeared a smoking brazier and a flaming torch which passed between the [divided] pieces [of the animals]. [Jer 34:18, 19] |
Subject: Smoking oven and Flaming Torch |
Bible Note: Greetings Ray - Abram didn't passs between the halves, God's Presence did - represented by the smoking oven and flaming torch v 17. The Galatians reference supports the Gen 15 promise God made to Abram - it was one sided; do you see any conditions that Abram was to fulfill? Knowing that Abram's decendents would reject Him, does this covenant reflect's God's love and mercy? How does this speak to you? As for me, it assures me of the faithfulness of God to me, to keep His promise of my redemption in Christ, even though I am unfaithful to Him. Blessings, mommapbs |
